I have found the setting within the parameters that enables the use of a second GPS. I am assuming that the firmware automatically selects whichever GPS has the lower HDOP.
I am under the impression that the Pixhawk has dual baros and accelerometers.

I can imagine that completely shrouding sensors and antennae in CF would be bad, but

Interested to see if there would be interest for a low cost hyperspectral imager (N bands) lightweight sub 300gr with a spatial resolution of 2-8 Mpixel per spectral band.
Projected unit cost would be $12,000 or less. We estimate to be able to pr

I bought a generic UBlox 6M /Mag combo & am trying to get it running correctly on my APM2.6.
I hooked it up with FTDI cable and UCentre. When I set it to 9600baud I started to find satellites.
I checked WiKi & found reference to 3DR-UBLOX.txt

I need to use my Y6 (APM 2.6; AC 3.1.5) for surveying and need to be able to automate missions, but today my auto mission didn't complete and RTL failed - it was as though the flight mode changed to loiter and ignored RTL signals. I've spent
